Hi,
I hope that at least one of you maintains Linux-PAM and that I am sending this
to the right place.
The right place is the mailing list, but, unfortunately, there are no hints
in the source code about that.
I have discovered a problem with Linux-PAM-1.1.6 that does not seem
to be
documented and which I presume is not generally known. I am trying to
cross-compile PAM-Linux (for powerpc in my case). The software configures
OK, but then when I try to compile it, I get the compilation error below.
On investigating this, the problem seems to be that I need a flex library
compiled for powerpc. I was able to solve the problem by getting suitable
flex libraries compiled for powerpc and setting LDFLAGS to point to them.
It took me some time to work this out. I suggest it would be helpful if
configure checked for the presence of a suitable library and issued a
warning message.
Regards,
configure.in uses AM_PROG_LEX macro, I suppose it issues a warning
on systems that have no lex.
